Jeff Hunter
Jeff Hunter has been a lapidarist for over a 15 years. Early in his career he was introduced to boulder opal and was bitten by the opal bug. Once bitten he decided to devote his lapidary career to the study and cutting of boulder opals. A few years ago he had the opportunity to visit and stay at a boulder opal mine in Koroit. Jeff came to the William Holland School to expand his knowledge and skills in cutting and polishing opals from around the world. He know shares his knowledge and skills with others by teaching opals here at the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts.
